Madonna hacking suspect indicted

The aspiring Israeli singer who was arrested on suspicion of illegally accessing Madonna's computer and leaking songs from her new album has been indicted on hacking charges. Adi Lederman was arrested in Tel Aviv last month (Jan15) as part of a joint investigation with America's FBI into the hacking scandal, which prompted the pop superstar to release a slew of her new songs early after unfinished copies emerged on the Internet.
The 39 year old, who auditioned for Israel's TV singing show A Star Is Born in 2012, has now been indicted on charges of computer trespassing, prohibited secret monitoring, copyright infringement and obstructing an investigation.
Lederman faces allegations that he hacked into a number of private cloud and email accounts, including one registered to the office of Madonna's manager Guy Oseary, and he is also accused of leaking the singer's track Give Me All Your Luvin' back in 2012, according to court documents filed in Israel this week (beg23Feb15) and obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

Madonna has posted a message on Instagram.com to dismiss rumors of a feud with Lady Gaga amid speculation she takes a swipe at her pop rival in the lyrics of a leaked track.
Last week (ends21Dec14), the music veteran released a six-song compilation from her forthcoming Rebel Heart album in response to a hack attack, which led to her unfinished demos hitting the Internet last month (Nov14).
Another 14 songs were leaked shortly afterwards, and among them is a track called Two Steps Behind, which is rumored to be a sly jab at Lady Gaga. It features lyrics such as: "You're a copycat, get back/I'm always on your mind" and fans have speculated the star is taking aim at Gaga over her track Born This Way, which prompted comparisons with Madonna's 1989 hit Express Yourself.
However, Madonna's manager Guy Oseary took to Twitter.com to silence the rumors, writing, "That song is NOT about Gaga or anyone in particular. The song is an unfinished demo she had no intention of finishing or releasing along with many others. She has NO ill will towards Gaga. It's nonsense. She was listening to Gaga's Tony Bennett duet album last week and appreciating it."
Madonna herself later went on Instagram to clear the air, explaining, "There are those who want to shut me up but they cannot! We still live in a world that discriminates against women. Their (sic) are people that are so hateful. They want to create feuds between strong women that do not exist! I do not wish ill will towards any other female artist and I never have!
"The world is big enough for all of us! I will fight for my rights as an artist, a human and a woman till the end of my days! Because I am a #rebelheart and I walk in the footsteps of giants and I will not apologise or defend my unpublished, unfinished, stolen work.
"If you don't like who I am or what I have to say then why are you reading this? #unapologeticb**ch."
Rebel Heart is slated for a March 2015 release.

Superstar Madonna has taken to Instagram.com to thank fans for shunning recently-leaked songs recorded for her forthcoming album, branding the hacking "artistic rape". Last month (Nov14), a song tentatively titled Rebel Heart surfaced online without her permission, prompting the singer's manager Guy Oseary to ask devotees to help him track down the person or persons responsible.
The cyber crooks have since shared what they claim to be the Material Girl hitmaker's full album, but Madonna insists the tracks are "unfinished demos stolen long ago" and she is grateful for fans' patience and understanding.
In a message on Instagram.com, she writes, "Thank you for not listening! Thank you for your loyalty! Thank you for waiting and if you have heard please know they are unfinished demos stolen long ago and not ready to be presented to the world".
She adds, "This is artistic rape!! These are early leaked demo's half of which wont (sic) even make it on my album the other half have changed and evolved. This is a form of terrorism. Wtf (what the f**k)!!!! Why do people want to destroy artistic process??? Why steal? Why not give me the opportunity to finish and give you my very best?"
The album leak comes a day after the 56 year old was left fuming after unreleased images from old photoshoots hit the web on Tuesday (16Dec14).

Madonna has become the latest victim of the must-have-it-now Internet culture after learning her new track has leaked online. A 40-second sample of her new song, tentatively titled Rebel Heart, leaked on Thursday (27Nov14), prompting the pop superstar's manager Guy Oseary to ask fans to help him track down the person responsible.
He tweeted, "I would be grateful to any Madonna fans that can assist us in finding those responsible for the leak. We appreciate your help."
Very little is known about the track, but sources suggest it may be a collaboration between Madonna and DJ Avicii.

Madonna's representative has denied controversial indie artist Ariel Pink's recent announcement that he has been hired to work on her upcoming album. In a recent interview with Faster Louder, the Los Angeles-based musician claimed bosses at the Material Girl's record company contacted him about writing songs for her 13th studio album, and he also took a shot at her career in the process.
He said, "Interscope are calling me to help write Madonna's record. She can't just have her Avicii, her producers or whatever, come up with a new techno jam for her to gyrate to and pretend that she's 20 years old... They need songwriting... They actually need songs.
"The first record was so good because of the songs. It's been a downward slide since. Ray of Light is not cool. And all the other stuff she's done after that, it's not like it matters. It really shows a drain of values."
However Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary has now responded to Pink's claims, writing in a post on Twitter.com, "Madonna and I have never heard of Pink. The label may have reached out but M has no interest in working with (him)."

Madonna was forced to digitally cover up a topless pal after falling foul of snap-sharing website Instagram's bare-breasted nipple ban while posting shots from her 56th birthday on Sunday (17Aug14). The pop superstar celebrated with a 1920s-themed bash at a villa in Cannes, France and uploaded photos of her hanging out with friends like Guy Oseary and Kate Moss - but one saucy shot featuring Madonna posing with a topless pal landed her in trouble.
Instagram bosses swiftly removed the nipple picture, forcing Madonna to post it again, this time with the woman's nipples covered.
She added the caption, "Instagram can take away our nipples but they cant (sic) take away our fun!"
The singer also posted a vintage topless pic of herself on Instagram, but she escaped upsetting website chiefs because her nipple was blocked by a glowing light.
Madonna may also have upset her ex-husband Guy Ritchie by posting a shot of their son Rocco from the party and joking, "Jeff Spicoli is alive and well in the South of France", suggesting the teenager looks like her first husband Sean Penn, who portrayed Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Madonna has shared her favourite birthday party images with fans after posting shots from the bash in Cannes, France online. The pop superstar celebrated her 56th on Saturday (16Aug14) with a 1920s-themed celebration at a private villa in France, where guests included model Kate Moss and Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary.
The singer shared her selfies and snaps of guests dancing on Instagram, but it one with Moss that really caught the eye - it the shot, Madonna and Moss are pictured on their knees and the pop star added the caption, "Bow down B*tches! #whatitfeelslikeforagirl."
The birthday girls kids Rocco, Lourdes Leon, Mercy and David Banda also flew in for the party.

Madonna's manager Guy Oseary has landed another major talent after signing on to represent Alicia Keys. The multi-Grammy winner has confirmed Oseary and his business partner Ron Lafitte will be overseeing her career.
The Maverick bosses' clients also include Pharrell Williams and OneRepublic, while Oseary recently signed U2 as a new client.
He has been the mastermind behind Madonna's career for a decade.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence embarrassed herself at Madonna's Oscars afterparty earlier this year (14) after throwing up in front of Miley Cyrus. The Hunger Games star and her best friend Laura headed to the annual bash thrown by Madonna and her manager Guy Oseary at the music guru's California mansion to continue partying after the Academy Awards, but her night didn't end up quite how she had imagined.
In a pre-taped interview with talk show host Seth Meyers, which aired in America on Wednesday night (21May14), she said, "I've never gone out after Golden Globes or Oscars or anything. I'm just so sick of people by that point. I'm like, 'Ugh, God!' But this time I was like, 'I'm going out'. And I puked all over."
Discussing the incident at Oseary's house, she explains, "If you get invited you're, like, super important. And I puked on his porch. I was in such bad condition and I look behind me while I'm puking and Miley Cyrus is there, (looking) like, 'Get it together.'"

Irish rock legends U2 will now be looked after by Madonna's manager Guy Oseary after the band's longtime boss decided to step down. The group has been managed by Paul McGuinness since he met them at a gig in 1978 and he has guided its stars Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. throughout their stellar career, but he is now stepping away from his charges.
McGuinness is preparing to sell his Principle Management company to concert giant Live Nation, which is also snapping up Maverick Records, which was co-founded by Madonna.
Oseary will take charge of U2 after the deal goes through.
A statement from McGuinness reads, "It could be seen as slightly poor etiquette for a manager to consider retiring before his artist has split, quit or died, but U2 have never subscribed to the rock and roll code of conduct. As I approach the musically relevant age of 64 I have resolved to take a less hands-on role as the band embark on the next cycle of their extraordinary career...
"I have long regarded Guy Oseary as the best manager of his generation and there is no one else I would have considered to take over the day-to-day running of our business."
